Okay.. Rapes in Sweden according to your own source.
1992 - 19
1993 - 25
1994 - 21
1995 - 19
1996 - 18
1997 - 19
1998 - 22
1999 - 24
2000 - 23
2001 - 23
2002 - 24
2003 - 29
2004 - 29
Now Sweden changes its statistical methodology.
2005 - 42
2006 - 46
2007 - 52
2008 - 59
2009 - 63
So when they changed the way they reported rapes, the numbers jumped from 29 to 46 and have gradually increased from 46 to 63 per 100.000 population since then. Now you claimed it could be because of the Iraqi refugees. For one these refugees came in 2003 and there was no big jump before 2005. Secondly the refugees were sent home in large numbers in 2008.
True about the numbers, but it is still a significant change.
Actually they came in smaller numbers since 2000. Sweden took Iraqi refugees before the war. Around 5000 per year. Then in 2005 they started taking a lot more, around 12-14000 refugees.
Also, they were not sent back in large numbers. I gave you the numbers last time, but it seems like you misunderstood me. This is the number of Iraqi who emigrate from Sweden. That's nothing compared to the number immigrating.
244, 277, 301, 421, 529, 570, 714, 803, 980, 902
Let me remind you again what you wrote.
You never mention a word about the Swedes. You claim that it is not a coincidence that the rape numbers go up because of the Iraqi refugees. There can be many reasons for rape numbers increased, including the following.. methodology, more women reporting rapes, more convictions, changes in society and so on and so on, and they are all more realistic than blaming it on Iraqi refugees.
But I'm not saying that swedish people don't rape, but yes I think it's too much of a coincendence. They must have affected the rape rate. Although I agree there may be other factors as well.
And you have empirical evidence of this of course? If I look at New Zealand immigration policy I see many positive things, but also many wth moments. 750 refugees max a year? More Kiwi's leaving the country than new immigrants coming in? And lets not forget that New Zealand is in the middle of no where, with sea all around and thousands of miles to cover to get there.. not exactly an easy place to flee too.
That's wonderful! We can't save the world by taking refugees, it won't help to take 1/1000 of Africas population to Europe. The only way to solve the problem is to help them where they are, and they need to help themselves.
Also, NZ has a lot of immigration and has net migration the last years. The ones coming into NZ are educated and they also benefit NZ, unlike many immigrant to Europe.

Also NZ got a healthy fertility rate (2.2) so there will certinally not be any population decline. Auckland is going to increase from 1.4 million to 2 million from 2010 to 2030. Europe got much bigger problems than NZ, because many European countries have very low fertility rates, and they have been low for quite a while. This means that even if the fertility rate increases, the ethnic population will still decrease and immigration is not helping, it's making it worse.
Seriously... The policies vary from European country to European country. The UK and France accept many immigrants from former colonies, the rest of Europe does not. Germany allows immigration from former German areas, Denmark does not. Spain had liberal immigration laws up to 2 years ago, they do not now.
The main problem in Europe is not immigration since over all it is very small.. the problem is illegals, that have been pouring over the borders for years including into Spain and Italy and the lack of action to deal with it.. well until a few years ago.
Immigration to UK has been around 500K each year. That's not a small number.
Also, why shouldn't UK be able to handle illegals. UK is an island, and it should be very easy to control the borders. Of course people can stay after a tourist visa, but then UK will have their fingerprints and photo. It should be very easy to kick them out next time they want to visit their home.
That practice was blocked decades ago in most countries. You dont automatically get your wife up to Europe unless you can support her. As for the rest of the family, no way in most countries.
Maybe in UK. In Norway and Sweden it still possible. I know it's common to send a child as an anchor baby. Then when the child gets older, the rest of the family can come through family reunion. Also, it's common to marry severall women so that they all can come through family reunion. Family reunion is one of the most common ways to immigrate to Norway.
But at least something must be wrong with UK immigration policies. UK got currently 2.5 million muslim, they have radical values, they are not educated and do not contribute to the UK society. How did they get in?
